Superficial Roadblocks

(álbum: Journey - 1973)

Superficial roadblocks from the ego in your mind
Have set the pace for hatred and distress amongst all mankind
The truth the love the beauty are hidden from your sight
The image in the mirror won't let you see the light

"Why are we my Lord on this Earth?" I cry
Trapped by fear and lust and plagued by doubt if or die
Could you take the time to find your mortal soul?
Could you find the way if you had the time of day?

All the hopes and dreams can you really make my schemes?
Take the time my friend, look within

Superficial roadblocks of the eagle in your minds
Have set the pace for hate and distressed among all mankind
The truth, the love, the beauty are hidden from your sight
The image in the meres won't let you see the light

"Why are we my Lord on this Earth?" I cry
Trapped by fear and lust and plagued by doubt if I live or die

Take the time my friend, look within
There is no death in life there's only a new body and you begin
